I will give you a small tip today. I have seen many designs with cool stripes running over them or even just stripes as a background filler or spacers. They used to look funky and nice on CRT monitors but it turn out that they are too bad and hard to be called nice on LCDs, if there are text over them, then pathetic. As more and more people are on LCDs these days, I suggest better stopped that xtreme designs with the idea of stripes over them. Stripes : I mean those series of thin 1 pixel lines (either faint or ultra translucent) over your actual graphics, which we used to do to make some finishing touches.
Don't like it? There are lots of published articles, pick a random one.

aka the “scanline” technique from designers trying to achieve the look from TV screens…but I’ll keep that kind of tip in mind!
I guess it would matter too, since people on higher and higher resolutions (1600 × 1200 and up). I think the solution is (if this type of effect is really needed) to use 2 or 3 pixels for the lines, or even anti-alias them.
Hey I think they look cooler on LCD’s and laptops
think its a design thingie and just not a code tip, so follow ur instinct people [no offence mate ;)]
